The beginning sounds mock French; the rhythm, melody and (rough) phonology is there, except there’s both [r} and (uvular) [R], but I don’t recognize a word before “… (coumme?) Brazil, la vie …”. The middle is still French in melody but more, er, maybe North African in phonology. Towards the end there are a few sequences that could be Spanish phrases. Maybe whatever it is is spoken with a heavy French accent? That doesn’t help in narrowing the search, though, so I’ll rather try a French-based creole with substantial Iberian input. Apparently there are none of those left in Africa, so I’ll have to look elsewhere. Did he really say “Brazil”? Karipúna? But I’m probably totally off base.

I’ll go with a native language from somewhere in Latin America. It’s not Quechua (final stress rules that out) and probably not Nahuatl (no tl’s), but large enough to be used on the radio – so,perhaps Mayan or Guarani.

My first impression (because of the repeated -ik) was of Basque-but-not-quite-there, and because of this I was stuck for a while not quite able to put my finger on what it might be. I doubt it’s Basque, because it has no trilled r, nor three different sibiliants, but *does* have an ejective k’ near the end and syllables ending in -k, -tx (-ch), -j and -l (that I can make out from the recording), which seems like what I recall of Mayan languages. Basque would normally have an -e following tx at the end of a word, and the -txt- that appears to be in the middle of one word in the recording would be impossible in Basque (it would reduce to -xt-); also, syllables cannot end in -j in Basque. The overall sense I get from the phonological structure here is that it seems like what I know of Mayan languages and doesn’t resemble anything else I know of.

I just listened to some YouTube samples of Garifuna, but what they have seems to have much more open syllables, with some nasal finals. I doubt that’s what it is.
